CoTweet: A First-Look Review
Twitter is a powerful social community, powerful in the sense that you can get your word out to alot of people, very fast. It’s also powerful enough to put your word into a sea of opinions, possibly burying that word into an ever growing backlog of tweets. To stay ahead of the crowd on Twitter, comanies need full 24/7 attention to be put on their official Twitter account. While this is possible, it is increasingly difficult when a large group of people (say an entire corporation) needs to manage one twitter account across multiple platforms and time frames, CoTweet claims to have solved that problem.
Allowing multiple users to manage one twitter account along with a host of great features, CoTweet has been adopted by a large number of big players, among them, Ford, Starbucks, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Mcdonalds… the list goes on. With these multi-national companies using the software, its clear what their goal is. Offer a one stop platform for an entire corporation can access, manage, and ensure that their social interactions are approved, and happen often, ensuring social interactions on a daily basis.
